@Jack_LFC_1892@ColinGrogan86 Maybe, clear he struggled to adapt, esp tucking in with Curtis at RB. More comfortable playing his own game.
The really top olayers can and do adapt though, and if we’re starting over, get the cheque book out and start shopping at the top table!
@Jack_LFC_1892@ColinGrogan86 I don’t think anyone who wins what he has is a failure, but after a promising first 2 yrs he hasn’t matured/developed as a player.
Errors were already there but have intensified as the pressure increased.
Don’t like it being a free, but time to move on & reset the back 4.
@Jack_LFC_1892 Whoever it is will need to stamp their authority over a fair few of them & maybe make some decisions about whether they are right for the club.
Start over properly.
@StanCollymore England managers have a long history of omitting such players. Deemed mercurial & too risky, better to be safe and go out galant losers in the knockouts with a free pass from the press.
